Hello people,
The Bren Carrier (Universal Carrier) has a capacity of 5 to transport.
The original purpose of the UC was to carry specialist teams – specifically the Vickers teams.
I was watching a Bolt Action battle report and the player had two UCs for a 10-man squad – the one squad split across two vehicles.
I’ve had a look for some specifics, but I can’t find how the UC is supposed to be used in a Bolt Action context.
I’d be happy to hear what others do with their PCs.
Thanks.
Regards,
David

July 24, 2020 at 1:18 am #180110Eric T HolmesParticipantI tend to use the UC Bren Carrier as a weapons mount and thus only have a crew of three in the vehicle – Driver, Gunner, Assistant Gunner. Now, I made my carriers convertible over three armies, Canadian/US, German (obviously a captured vehicle) and, Soviet. Both the Canadian/US and the Soviet are machine gun carriers. Heavy and medium respectively. The German is a Panzerfaust carrier, up to three Panzerfaust weapons, and jam packed with 10 panzerfaust weapons, enough for every soldier in a German squad. The key is “carrier.” The weapons cannot be fired from the Carrier. I need to verify that there was a MG42 in the front.
